The court order for setting up a trust fund for her son is conveniently overlooked

Yes, it is honestly so disheartening.

I'll see Ozymandias and raise Don Juan ...

“Tis strange,-but true; for truth is always strange;
Stranger than fiction: if it could be told,
How much would novels gain by the exchange!
How differently the world would men behold!”

Sorry, Don Dew-anne 😀

Real journalists would have blown a large raspberry when the Met Police chief gaslit us into believing that the police have no discretion at all when it comes to enforcing the law.

For example.

😂

Yes, who would have predicted that in 2025 investigative journalism would be obsolete!

Keir Starmer has received the report and is studying it

PA news

Resigned apparently!

Apparently she is leaving. I am so disappointed. Hopefully she will be back.

What a fiasco and what a sad end to her career, at least for now.

There will be much joy elsewhere.

I think it’s very sad, but also inevitable.

Yes, very disappointed that Reform have won yet again!

Already a gleeful thread on AIBU. They just can't help themselves.

Just a reminder, if any visitors come to gloat and goad, best thing to do is👆

There have been some really disgusting posts about her on the other thread.

I am pissed off with her, though,for not having the wit to realise that everything she does is scrutinised to the nth degree and so she should have been bloody certain she was acting within the rules.

She is no longer deputy leader either.

Yes, that surprised me - the ethics report must be really damning

Since that's an elected position I assume there will have to be an election?

Or perhaps she has just had enough of it all?

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. ☹️

Streeting will be on manoeuvres.

This is just not what Labour needs right now.

… although I suppose it draws attention away from Fartage?

Or perhaps she has just had enough of it all?

That was my first thought, too

The first tweet I saw announcing this was followed by a tweet suggesting Rayner should be deported as a traitorous Muslim lover.

It's the Telegraph and Mail picture editors I feel sorry for. She's provided as many photos for them as Kate Middleton has over the years.

There was also a thread a while back about a poster horrified that they were thinking of putting looked after children in a house nearby (I don't know the word when it's not a children's home as smaller than that). General agreement that such children are trouble and likely to behave badly or attract dodgy men in cars. So basically completely right to oppose it. But at other times (when complaining about Asians) those same children would be English roses cruelly abandoned by uncaring liberals etc etc.

BBC news has Starmers letter to her and it's written in light blue ink. Possibly berol pen
